五、阅读短文,完成下面的表格。
A rich old businessman in a small town met a factory worker, a singer and a fisherman. He gave them three seeds and said, “Bring me flowers in three months. The man with the most beautiful flower can have my money.” Three months later, the factory worker brought a big red flower. The singer brought a small yellow flower. But the poor fisherman brought nothing. He was very sad. “I don’t know why!” he said. “I watered it every day.” “You are honest!” the businessman said. “The seeds are bad and flowers will never come out. The money is yours.”
The fisherman was very happy. The other two men felt ashamed and sad.
